Mount Prospect Convent

Mount prospect convent

Client Daughters of Charity
Location Clontarf, Dublin
Size 1,255sq.m
Status Complete

The renovation and extension of the Immaculate Conception House Convent, to provide fully accessible housing for the Daughters of Charity order of nuns.

The building was designed around creating new spaces to allow the elderly residents to enjoy views of the gardens and access to daylight throughout the day. The new bedroom block gives each room a bay window seat looking out on to the landscaped gardens in the morning sun. The roof of the block is modelled to provide each individual bedroom with a peeled back west-facing rooflight, providing evening sun to each bedroom. These rooflights present themselves as a rhythm of copper elements sitting above the garden wall of the site, continuing the use of copper roofing on the existing convent and chapel buildings. Similarly, the communal sun-room was designed to bring the residents out closer to the garden and give better views and access to daylight and the newly laid out gardens.

The existing buildings were also remodelled extensively to provide safe and accessible use throughout, allowing better access to daylight for community rooms, views out to garden from as many rooms as possible, and an overall upgrade to provide a higher quality energy rating

Plus Architecture have recently completed the cons Plus Architecture have recently completed the construction of a scheme of 20 apartments in an articulated terrace in the south Dublin suburb of Foxrock.
The site of the apartments at Pine Avenue is elevated relative to its surroundings, with all apartments enjoying distant views out over Dublin bay to the east and the Dublin hills to the south and west. Whilst distant views allow residents experience these natural features, the design intent to preserve existing pine trees on the site and sit the development into this setting allows new residents to experience a well planted, screened and mature immediate context.
